Response from Host, Feb 2026

It was a true pleasure to accompany you on this trip. I was so touched to learn that it was something your mother had always wanted to do; her enthusiasm made my job even more rewarding. I'm so glad you enjoyed the experience! Dennis Roberts.

Awesome day tour of the lake, canal, and rain forest

Dennis was an outstanding guide. He communicate the day before to confirm pickup time. We did a private boat tour of the lake, canal, rain forest, etc. We stopped at a small market en route to the water to pickup fruit, and we were able to feed several monkeys in the forest. Dennis let us add on an extra stop at the end and made a great recommendation for a local lunch spot. I would highly recommend booking this tour with Dennis.

Fantastic trip

I went on what ended up being a private guided tour to monkey island. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and very courteous. She picked me up on time and explained what we were seeing on the drive there. I could not recommend this enough.

A great time!

I ended up booking this tour last minute after getting stuck in Panama on an unexpected 2-day layover. All the websites I had gone to had nothing available for the day since it was such short notice. On a whim I decided to call Viator and they found this tour for me with a start time of noon which was perfect. Dennis (the tour guide) picked me up and I had a great time! We went down the Panama Canal and stopped at several islands where he and the boat driver "called" the monkeys. Sometimes times they came, other times they didn't. It just depended on if they were hungry or not. When the monkeys did come, Dennis took my phone amd captured really great pictures and videos. I very much enjoyed myself! Over the years I've done many excursions that involved monkeys but this was definitely the best. Thanks for a great day!
